Are Your Dreams Your Reality? + Nature

Plato was right when he said, "An unexamined life is not worth living". Examine your life. What makes you happy? What brings you joy? What does not? Act accordingly. 

Is what you are doing right now bringing you true joy? Are you happy with what you’re doing in life? What gives you purpose? What gives you a reason to live? What gives you meaning? Really think about these things and see if how you feel and think aligns with your actions and the way in which you currently live your life. 

For me, one of the things in life that gives me a reason to live is Nature. The beauty seems like it is out of this world, but it is not! It is ours to enjoy and thrive with. Notice how I said thrive with? Yes, we need to protect what is sacred to us. Personally, I feel great when I am breathing clean air, listening to the wind or the sounds of birds, and feeling blessed by the beauty of it all. The sun shining upon me and filtering through trees. The wind blowing on me. It brings me a greater meaning in life when I see everything working together. That’s what we need to do. We need to work together instead of against each other. Otherwise, we will just perish as a species.

We are a part of Nature. Our toxins not only pollute us, but other living things as well. That is how we are a part of Nature. We affect the whole. Be considerate. Be aware. Whatever we do only comes back to us anyway. Wouldn't we rather give love and receive love than give hate/receive hate? When we take care of our planet, we are taking care of ourselves and future generations to come. Don't you want everyone else to enjoy a beautiful planet too? Let's not trash it first!

We shouldn’t push our luck on this planet. We should tend to it and love it and care for it. Just like we would with our children. Respect Nature for the beauty, nourishment, and wisdom it offers. Of course it is up to us to see that and appreciate it.

Other reasons that I believe are worth living for are helping others help themselves, working on ourselves to be the best that we can so we can contribute something to this world, and for those in relationships, having strong relationships with our partners that mean something.

With my boyfriend we grow together and learn from each other. We want to be in this relationship together and eventually have our own land and family. That’s our shared dream. I am very grateful that I have found someone to live out my dreams with. I have thought about this ever since I was a little girl despite not having any role models to look up to.

My hope is that through this blog my writings can be an inspiration for like-minded young people to live the life of their dreams even if it goes against the grain today.  All ages can learn from this blog. I have much more to come. Stay tuned!

Thank you so much!
